<h1>The Geospatial Neighborhood Analysis Package<a class="headerlink" href="#the-geospatial-neighborhood-analysis-package" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p><cite>geosnap</cite> makes it easier to explore, model, analyze, and visualize the social and spatial dynamics
of neighborhoods. It provides a suite of tools for creating socio-spatial
datasets, harmonizing those datasets into consistent set of time-static boundaries,
modeling bespoke neighborhoods and prototypical neighborhood types, and modeling
neighborhood change using classic and spatial statistical methods.
It also provides a set of static and interactive visualization tools to help you display
and understand the critical information at each step of the process.</p>
<p><cite>geosnap</cite> comes packed with 30 years of census data, thanks to <a class="reference external" href="https://quiltdata.com/">quilt</a>, so you
can get started modeling neighborhoods in the U.S. immediately.
But you’re not just limited to the data provided with the package. <cite>geosnap</cite>
works with any data you provide, any place in the world.</p>
<p>This site holds the <a class="reference external" href="https://spatialucr.github.io/geosnap/api.html">API documentation</a>. For a more applied walkthrough focused on the use
of geosnap in practice, see the <a class="reference external" href="https://spatialucr.github.io/geosnap-guide">User Guide</a> instead</p>
